Desserts like chocolate fondant and ice cream inspired the multi-sensory experience provided by its [plant-based products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-readytocook-range), which celebrate vegetables rather than attempt to mimic meat with processed ingredients. There are two types of Croq’CoulisL eggplant with a tomato and sweet potato filling and carrot with a [coconut curry filling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-goat-curry). On the outside, the vegetables and pea protein sprinkled with poppy seeds remain crispy, while the interior is runny. CEO and co-founder Guillaume Dubois says, "We wanted to get out of the confrontation with meat by going back to the roots of why we launched HappyVore: to help the French switch to a more plant-based diet, while having fun." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 24% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Plant-based Innovators:** HappyVore’s Croq’Coulis showcases how plant-based brands can use unique inspirations like desserts to reimagine savory dishes, breaking traditional boundaries. - **Multi-sensory Foods:** By integrating textures and flavors reminiscent of beloved desserts, this innovation highlights the potential for multi-sensory food experiences in plant-based cuisine. - **Vegetable-centric Products:** Celebrating vegetables rather than mimicking meat, the Croq’Coulis emphasizes an emerging trend where plant-based products focus on the inherent qualities of vegetables. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry sees innovations like HappyVore’s Croq’Coulis which redefine plant-based eating experiences with novel sensory appeals. - **Health and Wellness:** Health and wellness industries can draw inspiration from products such as Croq’Coulis that offer nutritious yet imaginative plant-based alternatives. - **Plant-based Foods:** The plant-based foods industry is expanding with creative offerings like the Croq’Coulis, which move beyond meat substitutes to celebrate vegetable-forward flavors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Global Cuisine Croquettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosh-croquettes.md) - [Plant-Based Dessert Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-de-creme.md) - [Circularly Grown Mushroom Croquettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroom-croquette.md) - [Crispy Plant-Based Meat Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accro-products.md) - [Plant-Based Sous-Vide Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sous-vide-bite.md) - [Veggie-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-you-crave.md) - [Crunchy Veggie Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-veggie-burgers.md) - [Minimal-Ingredient Vegan Proteins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preposterous-foods.md) - [Plant-Based Coconut Dessert Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coconut-collab.md)
